The Battleground is expected to shift this week to a House Senate conference committee where rep.

The House last year passed simple anti crime measure pro Viding for a $75 million one year program to improve local police forces. Last thursday the Senate Bya 72-4 vote enacted a Complex package that would authorize�400 million for a two year police improvement program permit court supervised wire tapping in investigating major crime restrict hand gun sales and overrule supreme court decisions on the admissibility of confessions in court trials. Celler who is chairman of the House judiciary commit tee said he would rather Sacri fice the whole measure than accept the provisions on Confes Sions aimed at overturning the supreme court rulings in Favoron defendants. Celler also has steadily opposed allowing wiretaps to rep. Emanuel Celler the extent provided in the Senate version. However House member from Many factions have made it Clear in speeches an comments the want a Stern crackdown on  sentiment has been fed by continued disclosures of the widespread activities of crime syndicates by concern overriding thuggery on streets and in business and Homes and by increased threats of rioting and civil disorders United states since world War ii.

A photo housing programs help Only affluent Percy says Washington up  Percy r-i11., said saturday an estimated $121billion in Federal housing programs have benefited the Middle income and affluent americans while destroying poor Urban neighbourhoods and leaving ghetto residents Home less. In an interview with up Percy criticized business and labor for worsening Urban life for the Low and moderate income families. As a freshman senator Percy fought a two year Battle to include in the administration housing Bill a number of provi Sions bearing his trademark. After 30 years we reinsured mortgages and Loans of $121 billion and helped 8 million families become homeowners and supported builders who construct More than a million apartment units Percy said. But most of this has Bee for the More affluent. At the same time we be got only685,000 units for Low income persons. And what Are these Public housing places like Well you can get in Public housing if your income is Low enough. But what happens when you Start making More you la have to leave and where can those people go in other words Why try to get a better Job or More Money if you Only lose a place to live Percy first offered his Solu Tion to the problem last year Only to have it attacked by Secretary Robert c. Weaver of the housing and Urban develop ment department Hud. Basi Cally the Percy plan would Hel the poor buy their own Homes through financing from foundation which would have its Stock underwritten by the Federal government. At one Point Weaver said the plan would spark Urban riots when Banks started fore closing on Homes of he poor. But in january president Johnson included in his housing message a plan to help Low an moderate income families buy their own Homes. The provisioning the housing Bill pending before the Senate was the result of Compromise negotiations Between Percy and sen. Walterf. Mondale d-minn., a Strong administration supporter. Instead of a foundation the Federal government would Grant direct subsidies of $38 to $52 month to families with $4,000 to $7,000 annual income to buy Homes costing Between $15,000 to $20,000. Percy contends Homeowner ship will transform ghettos into neighbourhoods where residents Are proud and Law abiding. At the same time the administration Bill would give local residents a bigger say in Urban renewal plans. Another provision in the housing Bill backed by Percy would attempt to employ ghetto residents in jobs in renewal projects. The building trades Industry has to drop the barriers to negroes Percy said. On these renewal projects one out of four negroes who live in the areas Are standing around jobless watching these White workers come in from Suburbia and earn $5 or $6 an  is comes at a a the visit a a i when the american con for soviet jewry a Bro a 2 ing of jewish Torrani Gaubeen outspoken about ported deteriorating of jews in the soviet the conference hich arged that jews in Russia x being subjected ,0 pm genocide and hat jewish Gigious leaders Are not pet.
